Modi exaggerated the data, but unemployment in Kerala is higher than the national average. By Modi’s calculations the unemployment rate is 19.6%. It is 11.8% (against the all-India unemployment rate of 4.9%), according to this report by the Ministry of Labour and Employment.

The electricity demand of the state is met through generation from Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB), central generating stations (CGS), independent power producers (IPPs) and traders.

Generation from KSEB’s own plants provide 33% (7,342 million units) of the total energy requirement. Imports from CGS, IPPs and traders provide the rest (14,996 MU) of total requirement.

So, 67% of power is imported, according to the 2015 economic survey of Kerala.
